Dustin is a great Jiu Jitsu teacher with plenty of knowledge and experience to teach both experienced and new practitioners! He even has kids classes scheduled throughout the week! It's definitely child friendly!

Great new jiu-jitsu gym in East Liverpool! When I moved back home I was getting ready to go back to gracie barra, then I saw there was a new jiu-jitsu gym in town. The coach Dustin is very experienced and knowledgeable. Nothing but good things to say and a friendly atmosphere!
Your first BJJ class at Level Up Grappling
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
